some reflections

here are some moments that were captured on film in the past couple months, since I cannot sleep… “We suffer to get well.We surrender to win.We die to live.We give it away to keep it.” – Richard Rohr

The last couple of weeks

Happy Easter!

Am I the Only One?

I have two speeds in my life. Full speed where I can accomplish anything. And ‘the other’ speed. You know the one that’s just that little hour glass that spins indefinitely? I heard a phrase years ago from a very successful business guy. He was probably one of the most wealthy people I’ve known in

Winter ’24 Ending

Keeping a personal blog in 2024 is like having a random pen pal. No one really cares, but it’s still pretty fun. I have started getting more work as the ‘winter season’ with freelance work has warmed up a bit. A couple of weekends ago I enjoyed my time working with my friends at LEAP
